"Who Loves the Rain"

We just had a quick summer storm - a real downpour. Sam and I were so excited to see rain again that we sat in front of the window and watched the rain come down for about twenty minutes.

I picked up a little book of poems we have called Silver Pennies by Blanche Jennings Thompson and started looking for a rain poem. This one is perfect for a rainy afternoon spent at home.

Who Loves the Rain

Who loves the rain
And loves his home,
And looks on life with quiet eyes,
Him will I follow through the storm;
And at his hearth-fire keep me warm;
Nor hell nor heaven shall that soul surprise,
Who loves the rain,
And loves his home,
And looks on life with quiet eyes.
